Specialty Tool Selection — Quick Reference
Most AIMS supplies fits cleanly into named categories — drills + spanners + pliers + welders + abrasives + so on. The "other" + specialty category covers TOOLS that DON'T FIT standard groupings — niche workshop + service van + specific application tools.
| Specialty Tool Category | Best For |
|---|---|
| Specialty Hand Tools | Niche workshop applications |
| Specialty Measuring Tools | Engineering + QA-specific |
| Specialty Cutting Tools | Cutting niche + workshop |
| Specialty Service Tools | Automotive + maintenance specialty |
| Specialty Lifting / Pulling | Workshop alternatives |
| Workshop Niche Equipment | Application-specific |
Best approach: Contact AIMS with the SPECIFIC application or part you need — workshop team will help identify the right specialty tool. Companion: hand tools, workshop tools + equipment, contact us.
Specialty Tools
Most of what AIMS Industrial supplies fits cleanly into named categories — drills, spanners, pliers, welders, abrasives, and so on. But some of the best tools for specific jobs sit outside the standard categories — application-specific tools that earn their place through doing one thing extremely well rather than fitting a broad classification. This page collects the specialty tools that don't slot into the obvious categories.
What you'll find here
- Application-specific hand tools — purpose-built tools for jobs where general-purpose tools struggle
- Trade-specific specialty items — tools developed for individual trades that haven't fit the broader categories
- Service and maintenance specialty kit — pullers, extractors, alignment tools, and similar specialty equipment
- Workshop-specific tools — items that earn their place through unusual function rather than common application
Why specialty tools matter
For everyday work, general-purpose tools are usually the right choice — versatile, well-priced, and available. But for jobs that come up regularly enough to justify a purpose-built tool, the specialty option pays back through speed, quality of work, and reduced damage to surrounding components. A bearing puller designed for the size of bearing you work with is many times faster and safer than improvising with a hammer and drift; an alignment tool designed for a specific drive coupling holds tolerances that approximation methods can't match.
How to find what you need
If you're looking for a specific specialty tool and you can't find it in our categorised range, contact our team with a description of the job, the equipment you're working on, or the part number of an existing tool you're replacing. We can usually source specialty tools through our distribution channels even when they don't appear in the standing catalogue — Australian industrial supply has good depth across most specialist categories.
Brands stocked at AIMS
The specialty tools range draws from across our approved brand list (266 brands as of May 2026), with the right brand chosen by application rather than by overall stocking depth. For specialty items not on the standard list, we work through our distribution network to source within reasonable lead times.
